Is this the season that Baylor finally gets back to a long-awaited bowl game? Art Briles could be a candidate for Big 12 Coach of the Year if the Bears do. Robert Griffin is looking to improve on his stellar freshman campaign at QB. Jay Finley and Kendall Wright give the offense credible threats alongside Griffin. Defensive studs Joe Pawelek and Jordan Lake anchor an improved defense. Last year, close losses to Connecticut, Nebraska, Missourri, and Texas Tech ultimately kept the Bears out of the postseason. Could this be the year Baylor finally smells some success? Here's the schedule...<p></p>Wake Forest: The Deamon Deacons lost Alphonso Smith, but they still return Ryan Skinner at QB. It is very tough to win at Wake Forest. Both teams will be excited and pumped for this opening game, but I think the Deacons will prevail.

This kid is electrifying, unstoppable, freakish, athletic, amazing, a leader, and the next Vince Young of college football. He has a similar frame to Young, although Young was a little taller. However, Griffin can run faster than Young and has a much better arm. This kid has only started two games, but has, twice, already appeared on SportsCenters Top 10 plays for his dazzling athleticism. Okay, so what? you say. He can run, but what about his passing? No problemo. He can pass just as well as he can run. Just take a look at his stats, they speak for himself. Bottom Line is, in the Big 12, you&#39;ll hear alot about Chase Daniel, Sam Bradford, Graham Harrell, Todd Reesing, Josh Freeman, Colt McCoy, and Joe Ganz; but Griffin is quickly establishing himself as one of the top QB&#39;s in this stacked conference. I&#39;d rate him in my top 5 believe it or not. I have no doubt that by the time Griffin has finished his sophomore year as a Baylor Bear, you will know him as the top quarterback in the Big 12. Watch out for this kid, he is something special. The future looks bright for Baylor.<p></p>Robert Griffin is the next Vince Young Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:31:50 EDThttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/10523631?source=rss_blogs_NCAAFhttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/10391182?source=rss_blogs_NFL#commentsNFLhttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/10391182?source=rss_blogs_NFL
This division is beastly. Here are my rankings. <p></p>New York Giants (1-0) - Gotta give &#39;em the respect. They are the champs, and deserved to be ranked so until someone knocks them off their pedastool. I made a mistake in my last blog saying that the Redskins would beat them. This coming from a die-hard Cowboys fan... <p></p>Dallas Cowboys (1-0) - Did a great job going into the Dog Pound and easily dismantling the Browns, dubbed by many to be contenders in the AFC this season. If they keep this play up, it&#39;s hard to see them not making the Super Bowl. <p></p>Philadelphia (1-0) - Absolutely dominated St. Louis on both sides of the ball. McNabb keyed the Eagle&#39;s prolific attack with 3 TDs. Philly is a very close third behind Dallas and New York.

Are you ready for some footbaaaaaall?!?!?!!? <p></p>The season kicks off tonight (9/4/08) with division counterparts New York Giants and Washington Redskins taking each other head on. I think this game will boil down to the last quarter. This may surprise some of you, but I&#39;ll go with the Skins over the Giants.<p></p>Giants vs. 'SkinsSat, 06 Sep 2008 13:47:03 EDThttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/10307355?source=rss_blogs_NFLhttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/10129215?source=rss_blogs_NFL#commentsNFLhttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/10129215?source=rss_blogs_NFL
Stop da Hate! <p></p>Seriously. This guy has done nothing to deserve the hate that you guys express towards him. He is a guy that is humble and has a great personality. Personally, I don&#39;t think the guy gets the credit he deserves. He plays at an All-Pro caliber level and yet you guys treat him like a bag of dirt. I don&#39;t know if it&#39;s because he plays for the Cowboys, or because is girlfriend is Jessica Simpson. Stop the hate guys.

The Cheating Chinese! <p></p>Just nine months before the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese government&#39;s news agency, Xinhua, reported that gymnast He Kexin was 13, which would have made her ineligible to be on the team that won a gold medal this week. <p></p>In its report Nov. 3, Xinhua identified He as one of &quot;10 big new stars&quot; who made a splash at China&#39;s Cities Games. It gave her age as 13 and reported that she beat Yang Yilin on the uneven bars at those games. In the final, &quot;this little girl&quot; pulled off a difficult release move on the bars known as the Li Na, named for another Chinese gymnast, Xinhua said in the report, which appeared on one of its Web sites, www.hb.xinhuanet.com <p></p>The Associated Press found the Xinhua report on the site Thursday morning and saved a copy of the page. Later that afternoon, the Web site was still working but the page was no longer accessible. Sports editors at the state-run news agency would not comment for publication.

Is Dwyane Wade back? <p></p>Has anyone noticed Dwyane Wade&#39;s stellar play recently in the Olympics? The dude has been one of the most, if not the most, consistent players for the USA basketball team, and this team is stacked with the MVP (Kobe) and the runner-up (LeBron) from the NBA, so that&#39;s saying something. He looks just like his old-self from the 2006 championship run, not the Wade from the past year that was beat up and turnover prone. If he can translate his Olympic success to the NBA; he, Shawn Marion, and Michael Beasley could be able to guide the Heat to the playoffs after a one year absence. If you ask me... I say, D-WADE IS BACK! <p></p>Dwyane Wade: Flash --&gt; Crash --&gt; Back?Fri, 15 Aug 2008 16:51:56 EDThttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/9935883?source=rss_blogs_NBAhttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/9917382?source=rss_blogs_NCAAB#commentsNCAABhttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/9917382?source=rss_blogs_NCAAB
Arkansas Junior PG, Patrick Beverly, to play professionally in Europe? <p></p>As many of you may know, the Razorbacks will be without one of their top players, Patrick Beverly, for this upcoming season due to acedemia reasons. A source close to the program has apparently stated that he &quot;is expected to seek a contract with a professional team overseas.&quot; Is this a good idea? It could be. He did average 12.1 ppg and had 6.6 rpg in the SEC conference. I think he will warrant starter&#39;s minutes over in Europe (if he goes) but there is no way he will catch a big contract like Brandon Jennings and Josh Childress did. Perhaps the only negative to this situation is that if he does go and play in Europe and returns to America in hopes of being picked in the NBA draft; executives in the NBA are going to want to know exactly why he departed Arkansas, so he&#39;s going to have to get in front of the story sooner rather than later.<p></p>Beverly to join overseas wave?Fri, 15 Aug 2008 16:37:50 EDThttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/9917382?source=rss_blogs_NCAABhttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/9900587?source=rss_blogs_NFL#commentsNFLhttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/9900587?source=rss_blogs_NFL
WILL Adam Jones BE REINSTATED? <p></p>It has been reported that Adam &quot;not Pacman anymore&quot; Jones anticipates on sending in a reinstatement letter to NFL Commish Roger Goodell. As of the late, Jones has actually been on good behavior after all of his run-ins with the law while a member of the Titans. I think he actually has a decent shot of getting reinstated. But the thing is, he can&#39;t just play nice for now...he has to play nice for the rest of his career or else Goodell won&#39;t think twice about banning him from the NFL next time he gets in trouble.<p></p>Will Adam Jones be reinstated?Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:45:00 EDThttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/9900587?source=rss_blogs_NFLhttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/9882960?source=rss_blogs_NCAAB#commentsNCAABhttp://footballdude101.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/9877433/9882960?source=rss_blogs_NCAAB
